IFM Electronic OU5005 Through-Beam Sensor Transmitter

IFM Electronic OU5005 Through-Beam Sensor Transmitter (OUS-OOKG) is the sending element in IFM’s through-beam optical sensing system. The OU5005 designation identifies the transmitter unit that pairs with a corresponding receiver to form a through-beam sensor, which detects object presence by monitoring a beam path between two aligned components. The transmitting element typically works in conjunction with a receiver capable of signaling a change in state to control logic when the beam is interrupted. In typical installations, the transmitter emits a light beam toward the receiver; any interruption in that beam is reported by the receiver to a control system, enabling simple, non-contact detection. The 'OUS-OOKG' suffix ties this unit to a specific IFM configuration within the catalog and indicates compatibility with the documented receiver pairing. When paired with the matching receiver, the OU5005 provides reliable sensing for automated processes that require uninterrupted beam transmission and accurate beam interruption detection.
